Abstract
As discussed in Chap. 4, research on preparing teachers for varied and diverse classroom settings has increased over recent decades. This research focus has developed, at least in part, to address a particular critique of teacher education preparation and adequate staffing of schools. Aubusson and Schuck (Teacher Development 17(3), 322–333, 2013) note that one of the issues with this critique is that ‘there appears to be a shortage of quality teachers who are able to teach in diverse and challenging environments’ (p. 323).
